Thanks, Kristen. I’ve been working lately on perfecting my chicken liver ice cream appetizer (with maple-caramelized onion, pancetta, blood orange, champagne jelly), hoping it will supersede the Caprese…

Really enjoyed this. Loved the clacking paper coffin, the tiny knuckle of a man, his strange and generous act…

Would also love to get my hands/mouth on some of that Revisionist Caprese Salad! Wow.

(if your phone calls from an unknown international number, and there is an Australian-accented choking on the other end of the line, it’s me)

You know, I’ve never actually eaten a fig. I feel like I’m missing out now.

OK. It’s on the to-do list. And I’m going to try to strip the skin, too.

Matthew Gavin,

Your words are like music that can be tasted.
I love reading you.

It took lots of sweat and hogging-out on snails afterward. And wine. Plenty of wine.

Impressed you were able to bike that route. Every time I tour through those towns I’m lucky if I’m able to successfully locate my feet afterward.

Oooooh. Dijon. I love it. I was staying in Beaune, biking through Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault… Heaven. You’re right. I must get back on that bike.

I’m right in the capital of that magic, Dijon. You’ll have to ride through again sometime.

Thanks, Nathaniel. I’ve found some wonderful magic riding my bike through Burgundy. Where in France are you?
